Michelangelo EP
My debut EP "Michelangelo" is available to listen to on all the streaming platforms. You can also get hold of a copy on CD that contains previously unreleased bonus tracks from the live recording session in the Sir Jack Lyons concert Hall at York University.
The recordings were engineered by Sherry Yeh. CD's cost £5 each. Send me an email or get in touch via Instagram if you'd like to buy one. Thanks for your support.
I first heard about Ned when a friend sent over his music, suggesting him to support me for one of my shows. I was blown away by his music, the guitar playing, the melody choice and the songwriting in general I just thought was wonderful.

BBC Music Introducing
Live at City Varieties Music Hall
I've released an 8 track CD of my performance at City Varieties Music Hall, Leeds on 12 June 2025 - when I opened for Butler, Blake & Grant.
Featuring previously unreleased tracks including, Mr O'Brien, When The Wind Blows, Bright Young Things, The Ways and Old Joe.
CD's cost £5 each, get in touch if you'd like one. Thanks for your support.
Here's a version of The Ways included on the CD. Many thanks to Kieran Ragan who was working the desk and recorded my set.
The Ways
You were born in the morning
And it took you a lifetime to figure it out
Do you tend to take your time
When the twilight seems to tumble down
And it moved you... the motion
In a way that became all that you can feel
For who and why the whole world
Whiles away its time away behind the wheel
I know that I can weigh down
And I find, I never could have lived without
That again, come anything worse
Would it hurt you to taste it
When the worst of the pain hits
Closing your eyes
And I can watch the winding lines
Lay apon your skies
Does it move you to raise him
When the worst of the pain hits
Closing your eyes
And I can see you walking by your side
I know the ways to get me down
And I find, I never could have drowned you out
If I could...do anything worse
Do anything worse...
Do anything worse...
Do anything worse...
Seriously people, you need to go. Went to Leeds last night and it was brilliant. To be honest, the support, Ned Swarbrick, was worth the entry fee alone.
